Out of the 7.5 billion people in the world we find ourselves friends with only a few people. Why is that? There’s so many different people out there to meet, yet we stay in our own little comfort zone. Every single human being has special characteristics about them that no one else can ever have. No 2 people can live the same exact life. There’s so many people out there that you’ll never know. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist or matter. Even the closest friends we think we know the best, we really don’t. Nobody could know an entire person's life from beginning to end.

However at the beginning of the story, 2 girl Socs listened to a few greasers and realized they’re not at all what they thought. “Cherry sighed. “You two are too sweet to scare anyone.” (Hinton, pg 26). It’s so sad to see us all assume things about other people, without really getting to know them. Sometimes they are deceiving and not what you expected for the worse or the better. If the Socs and “The Greasers” tried to compromise and get along, despite their differences, they could’ve formed a great alliance. In the end of the story, the Socs were nice to Ponyboy. They never noticed the greasers did have sympathy and courage in their hearts for others. If they only would have known that about them sooner, things would have been so much easier and more peaceful. Not everyone finds satisfaction in the same things, but we were all given the same heart. We need to humble ourselves and see only the good in the people around us. Out the 7 billion people on this Earth, there’s a great chance you’re shutting some of the nicest people out.
